[Haskell-cafe] GHC, GLUT and OS X

Ok, a bit hacking reveals that GLUT on Mac OS X performs differently
in GHCi and when compiled.
I use the following code:
main = do
createAWindow "Hello window"
createAWindow windowName = do
displayCallback $= (clear [ColorBuffer] >> swapBuffers)
--idleCallback $= Just (postRedisplay Nothing)
passiveMotionCallback $= Just (putStrLn . show)
When compiled, it renders a black screen and prints the event when you
move mouse over. It's crucial to have swapBuffers in displayCallback,
otherwise it will not render.
But if run in GHCi, it won't render a thing unless idleCallback line
is uncommented. Also, it won't produce any output at mouse over.
Another strange thing is with idleCallback set and swapBuffers
removed, it still renders black screen in GHCi, but will not render
I wonder why the event callback is blocked when using GLUT in GHCi?
